    We lived across the street from Hayward Municipal Airport and there were two P51 Mustangs that would take off all the time .I loved hearing them taxi and take off .Great sound and to watch them climb immediatly was something I never got tired of witnessing.

    My dad also loved this airplane. He took me to see Bob Hoover fly his one afternoon in 1965. It was there he told me that if it weren’t for 4 of those airplanes one cold December ‘44 morning in the Ardennes forest, neither he or I would be standing there.
    Getting a type-rating in one is on my bucket-list.
    Gen. Anderson, I salute you sir!

    I was there in 2001 at the 50th Airventure.
    There were 19 Mustangs flying that year; including most of the planes in this video. Col. Chuck Yeager was there flying his own 51 Glamorous Glennis!
    He took up a bunch of young eagles in the Ford Trimotor just before I went up in it and shook my hand and signed my Trimotor ticket after the flight!
    A few minutes later he climbed in his Mustang and flew in formation with 18 other P 51 Mustangs..
    What a sight it was to see him mount up and go.
    RIP Colonel. Check your six and press on!
    I remember that line of 19 Mustangs all doing their run-up together.
    Pretty dang Awesome!
    Have it all on video.
    I went on every ride there was and had a blast!
    Met Harrison Ford, Richard Bach, the owner of Target, the inventor of the Polaris flying boat and many others in my several visits there.

    3:04 for yall wondering why the landing gears on this mustang is smaller, its because its a P-51H, which was apart of a further development of the P-51D to make it lighter. Referred to as the "lightweight mustang".

    My dad was a crew chief with the Flying Tigers 43-45. Most of the time they had the P47s then one day the P51s came in and 47s left. Then a week later just the opposite. He got to taxi 51 but didn’t have much time with it.
    Before anyone says something. Yes the Tigers started out as the AVG (flying P40) but when the war started they became part of the 14th Air-force, still maintaining the Flying Tigers name.
    My dad is currently 97 yrs young!!

      FYI my 1st cousin was in Vietnam too. His name was Dennis Marvicsin and he was a cobra helicopter pilot. He wrote a book called, Maverick - the story of a Cobra helicopter pilot.
      Pretty incredible story.

      @American Patriot he flew hueys first then they got the cobras if I remember correctly. If I remember correctly he was shot down 10 times, was wounded and captured and escaped.
      He passed away after having heart surgery but I can’t remember when. 80s sometime.
      My brother served 23 yrs guard and active. His two sons were AF and Army. Three generations of military in our family.

      My father was also a Flying Tigers and was a crew chief 41 to 45. To this day for me there is no sound that sounds so sweet as one of them Merlin's making a high speed pass right in front of me. My Father gave the love of old war birds. I remember as a child we would go to the Steerman Fly in and a P-40 or a 51 would stop short of runway and do a engine run up to check mags and I would look up at my dad.... the look in his eyes...it was like no look I had seen before... like a time machine. Pop's would tell me when he was crew chief that was his plane.... He would let the pilot borrow it!!! and it better come back in one piece. thanks for the memories and God bless everybody who has served and all the people it takes to keep them flying P.S. loved going to all the reunions for 14th air force as a child met Tex Hill and Don Curtis who designed the P-40

  • @MrBrian8749

    My dad talked about the P51 until the day he died. After the war he never flew again...but the P51 Mustang was in his heart and dreams. The P51 Mustang took his fear of dying away because he was invincible in that thing. He said it turned him into a killing machine from above.

    The P51 was the most beautiful and deadly fighter of WW2. As a pilot I'm madly in love with them. I've seen them in EAA conventions over the years, seen Chuck Yeager bounce out of his cockpit at 75. I was once lucky enough to walk by them with a camera, gleaming in the setting Sun.

    Who said design and engineering can't be beautiful. Possibly the most beautiful design in any field of engineering. I'll bet those German pilots recognized the beauty and performance of the Mustang and were a little envious. Just to bad they weren't available earlier in the war. Many heavy crews were lost without the protection of long range fighter protection.

      Rarely stated is that the Merlin was based on a Curtis designed Engine,
      the D 12 model...designed in the good old USA.
      Credit must always be given to
      The Packard Brothers for their foresight and commitment to the .V- 12 engine
      concept. Heck , they had a production
      version in mid 1915..!! Even Enzo Ferrari found out about the V - 12 from
      Packard Army Staff cars at the end of
      WW 1 .( US and Italy were Allies in WW 1 ) ..Lots of people forget that. ...

      Aww, Wilbur. 8 months on and still only two likes, one of which was from your own Sorearsetractor account and the other just someone commenting on the P-51H. For anyone who could be bothered to read this peculiar fool's inane comments, Wilbur, AKA Soararsetractor, is an armchair warrior and drunk who spends his time writing racist comments about British people, none of which, by his own admission, he has ever met. The source of his anger seems to revolve around the provenance of the Rolls Royce Merlin engine which, amusingly, he would like everyone to believe was invented by the now defunct Packard Motor Co., and his general inferiority complex and guilt over fact that he a is a draft dodging coward (again by his own admission) who refused to fight for his country during the Vietnam War. Apparently his father and grandfather did the same in previous wars. He actually admitted that! What a chump! Anyway, I thought any right thinking Americans who were puzzled by his comment might be interested to know.

    Excellent production, great photography and no superfluous narrative. My one objection is that these pilots make it seem too easy. I have tried the trainer version in DCS world, which is fairly close to an actual simulator. Just starting it up and taxiing to the runway, managing the throttle and tail wheel, is a serious challenge. (I don’t hold you personally responsible.)

    What a beautiful noise to hear. It sounds a lot better than the trucks with the mufflers the size of cooking pots. It would have been awesome to hear 900 51's in the air during missions.

      @FJoe Biden yes I did. A lot of Mustangs were used as escorts to bombers in WW2

      @FJoe Biden you're right. I over exaggerated. That would be 900 bombers in some later missions Joe.

      @@ME-wq8lq thats the plain grey/silver smaller P51 with the rudder painted white with a yellow Mustang(horse)painted on it serial # 464551 on the tail...Came in at the end of WW2 was much lighter and faster than the standard "D" model which is the most common variant Top speed of the D model was 437 m.p.h. at altitude and the H model had a top speed of 487 m.p.h. 50 mph faster but it had less firepower and was never used in WW2..I think only 555 were ever made and soon they were obsolete because of the start of jet aircraft production

I'll never forget that ride...Mike Couches owns the rare H model P51 and it was flown by his son Steve Couches who is an American Airlines pilot...it may be the ONLY one flying now..Don Whittington used to own a rare race version of the H model in Ft. Lauderdale long time ago,but I think he crashed it off Tampa bay in the ocean some years ago....Chuck Yeager said the H model was a very tiring plane to fly and the D model was a much better aircraft R.I.P.
